"This is ebullient R&B with a hippie soul that evokes the best of the new jack swing sound." - All Music
"A great R&B singer with a Stevie Wonder vibe to him." - NPR
After an incredible tour in 2019 which still has his fans talking, soul and R&B singer Allen Stone is making a highly-anticipated return to New Zealand next April. Allen is set to lure audiences at Wellington's TSB Auditorium (Shed 6) and Auckland Town Hall - Great Hall with his enchanting croons. The NZ shows are part of his Australasian visit which will also see him grace Byron Bay Bluesfest and play headline concerts in Sydney and Melbourne.
Allen is heading back to the NZ stage off the back of his new album 'Building Balance' which is a textured amalgam of R&B and soul—putting front and centre a fully-evolved artist who has grown into his own and learned to balance and appreciate all parts of his life: the vices of the past and the gifts of the present, career and family, the brilliant highs and discouraging lows.
Commenting on the tour announcement, Allen said, "touring Australia and New Zealand is starting to feel like a home away from home for me—the audiences have been so welcoming and singing along with me, the whole show is a feeling that is hard to describe. I look forward to coming back to play new songs for friends both old and new!"
The evolution of an artist is a powerful process to observe. Allen Stone's journey and evolution has been part pain and beauty. From the basements and small clubs of Seattle to sold out shows across the world, including Australia and New Zealand, Allen has taken the long tireless road to building an audience and dedicated fanbase that is there for every word.
Known for his witty, kitsch online videos, phenomenal stage presence and incredible vocals, Allen Stone loves playing Australasia and we are excited to welcome him back with open arms.
